going through somebody's post history looking for gotchas is shameful low-tier redditor behavior that should be discouraged at every opportunity

[Kaiser von Lohengramm @KaiserLoengramm]

A perfectly accurate depiction of how the Mexican American War went, which was also one of the coolest wars we ever fought and the rehearsal for the American Civil War, with men like Lee and Grant cutting their teeth in that first fight.

@762blacktip @CountDankulaTV same. it was pretty bad at parts and I fastforwarded through some scenes, like when he's shooting all the guys in the room or fucking the hooker, but overall it was decent justice porn for a B-grade film

You mean, the original rap battle from 8 Mile where Eminem recites 99 lines straight from the Iliad in archaic Greek (with tones)?

Nooo I can't escape the room. Noooo

Yeah, I’m definitely watching this.

Absolutely brutal takedown of the entire commie worldview and unearned sense of entitlement by Heinrich Marx here. 10/10, no notes

This is a mental health incident, the man is clearly not fit to stand trial

I’ve also heard he was called a cracker and therefore we must see arrests for hate speech to find out if this was true.

The indigenous called him “Conotocaurius”, Devourer of Villages.

He was built like an inside linebacker, 6ft and 220lbs.

And his personal motto was, “Exitus Acta Probat” - the outcome justifies the means.

He is the standard.

there’s an ancient jewish community from south india who were apparently the last people in the world still playing the royal game of ur, a forgotten and mysterious 4,600-year old board game from mesopotamia that was only rediscovered by archaeologists in 1920s iraq.

One reason why the 1957 film "The City That Never Sleeps"《不夜城》was not screened until the 1980s was because it portrayed pre-socialist neon Shanghai so brilliantly...

Can't believe I've been drinking the anti-Nixon koolaid my whole life. This guy was the MAN

Told you.

Large language models are not an intermediate form between dumb software and digital people.

Why?

Because what some people call "sentience" or "sapience", or "consciousness", by which they essentially mean "personhood", isn't one thing.

It isn't one special quality that, if you have enough of it, you're suddenly a person and not a thing.

It's the name we give to a cluster of capabilities that all work together. We mistake them for one thing, because we only ever see them in humans, wherein they all occur together.

If you only ever see men riding horse with saddles, and you never see a horse without a rider, or a rider without a horse, you might mistake horse, rider, and saddle for one creature.

An LLM isn't a retarded person. It isn't retarded at all. It's a small slice of a fully functional person. One or two capabilities out of many that must come together to make "something" into "someone".

It can use language like a smart person, because that's the capability it was developed for. But it has no theory of mind. No object model of the world. No executive function. No motives or goals.

Don't think of Grok as a stepping stone to "Strong AI", something that must merely be improved to make a person.

Think of it instead as a piece of a strong AI, one component that must be brought together with others, into a whole.

Those who are afraid we are building God, possibly a malevolent or indifferent god, are wrong and over fearful.

We haven't even built Man. Just a small sliver of one. If we wish to make more, we will need to start fresh on different paths, to develop the other slivers.
